I’ve never been anything but sober. I don’t plan on changing that.

I first listened to the song “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” whilst reading about the Columbine High shootings, so now I always think about that when listening to the song.

What’s this list?

“The old EU is true canon!” I said as I cried into my Darth Revan body pillow.

EDIT: In hindsight, this might have come across as a mean-spirited jab at Lucky. If so, that wasn’t intentional: it was just a dumb joke that popped into my head.

Man, don’t worry about making mean spirited jokes towards me; they’re my favourite type of jokes.

Get that NuEu stuff outta here boyo.

No mate - could you remove that image please?

That could easily be construed as a slur based on race/ethnicity/religion… and it’s not befitting of this thread, the whole forum, or yourself.

It’s a meme, they’re all like that. Haseo seems to be quite fond of them.

Yeah that’s why we were all confused about why you mentioned it in the first place.

By the way the Lord of the Rings movies hadn’t come out yet when I was ten.

The first one came out when I was two months old.

LuckyGungan2001, could you resize your sig image? It’s a little too tall. Max dimensions allowed are 600 X 120 pixels.

Sure thing man. Sorry 'bout that.

My parents recently split up, and even though I’m not bothered by this (I prefer them being apart to contasntly shouting at each other and breaking shit), it seems to have had an effect on my grades, which are steadily declining, so now they’re both down my throat saying that I should see the school counsellor to get stuff off my chest and do more homework. Pretty annoying.

His neck is just too distracting. Besides, he’s nowhere to be found in Episodes II and III.

In the comics he died, but that’s not canon anymore.

Equally random (perhaps) is a passage from Jonathan Livingston Seagull. It was a wildly popular book in the 1970s and certainly left its mark on popular culture for decades. I’ve read it a few times through the years and below is a passage that always makes me wonder. It’s a long shot that it was an inspiration, but it was a very well known NYT best seller and widely read. It’s been referenced countless times in films, music, TV, etc

“Jonathan opened his eyes. He stood alone with the Elder on a totally different seashore - trees down to the water’s edge, twin yellow suns turning overhead”.

If there are other science fiction stories or films predating the 70s and referencing twin suns (and there may be several), I’m unaware of them.

Talos IV in the original Star Trek TOS pilot was a binary system. Spock mentions it in dialog at one point.

Good observation though!

Talos IV? There is a planet in Star Wars Legends called Telos IV. Coincidence?

My favorite film of all time is pretty much a tie (or should I say TIE) between ANH and RotS. I love them both for different reasons (and nostalgia isn’t one of them). I’ll admit that RotS is really slow in the middle, but everything else makes up for it. Besides, I’m sure there’s fan edits that remove that stuff. The opening is a lighthearted adventure, and the rest is really emotional and beautifully tragic. ANH is just a lighthearted adventure the whole way through. As for other movies I really love, the only ones that come to mind are Wall-E and Up, but I’m sure there are others (and not just Pixar movies).

I agree with this, and like it quite a bit, but I wouldn’t say I think it’s one of the best movies ever (far from it actually).

Sam Raimi is a favourite. I also really love Quentin Tarantino.

This will sound blasphemous, but I really enjoy The New Jedi Order, even though I’m only halfway through at the moment, I can safely say it’s a pretty good series, unless the other ten books in the series suck hard.

I am sad that I initially adored Rogue One and now get bored when I try to watch it.

Still hyped about this.

I don’t like skinny jeans.

Ugh, me neither, I see them so much. I always go for the baggiest, thickest, clothes I can find, and all my friends say I look like a stereotypical drug dealer.

This is just as bad. I don’t know why people can’t just wear clothes that fit anymore.

Oh no, my pants do fit me, around the waist and don’t got over my shoes and stuff, but they’re quite baggy, which I feel is much more comfortable than wearing tight pants. Same goes for shirts and jackets, I much prefer warmth to looking fashionable.

Oh boy I made a bunch of people feel old. I’m 15. I don’t know if I’m making things better with that statement.

Hey, I fifteen too! I’ve got someone to relate to.

United 93 (2006)

Very sad, very heart wrenching, as to be expected of a film based on the awful events that transpired on that day. The film captured the intensity and desperation that the passengers would have been feeling very well. Of course, since it is based on real life events, not all characters can get complete closure, with Ben Sliney disappearing near the end. I also really enjoyed that, unexpectedly, the main character seemed to be Ziad Jarrah, who in a lesser film might have been portrayed as an evil man. I’ll give it a solid nine out of ten.

I’m actually pumped after hearing that JJ’s back. I loved The Force Awakens, and both of JJ’s Star Trek flicks. Before now I didn’t really care about this film, but now I’m hyped to see where the sequel trilogy will go. Besides, if I don’t like it, I can always go back to the EU.

Oh, right, my mistake.

b4-4 - Get Down

Ridiculously catchy, but I watch the music video and:

How did we let this become a popular fashion sense?

I actually love Temple of Doom the most, and I definitely find myself re-watching that one the most.

Sorry if I’ve repeated something, but I only just heard the song for the first time and those were my thoughts.
